Someone once told me not to do DMT unless I am at a high point in my life. Would you agree with it? How do I know when I'm ready for it?
When you don't have to ask this question... For real the same rules apply as most psychedelics except this is definitely not a party drug. Take it in a good mood with an open mind in a comfortable setting with little to no distractions. Its only a 5 minute trip so its not too bad and you don't have to really plan your day or night around it. Based on that LSD post you had about not getting much out of it Im not sure you are ready to get the most out of dmt or should worry about it now but I think you will enjoy it nonetheless. Its hard the first time but its a drug you have to let go on, but pay attention to as well because it moves very quickly, its a short trip, and you may even be instructed to interact with the entities and stimuli if you're lucky.
im tripping on shrooms: holding my breath and having DMT realizations.... though i think these cambos are weak in visuals but kinds gooffy in the mind fuck area.. cevs are ok, oev eh'.. if you dream,. youve done DMT...
Agreed, but still, it ain't the same. i've only had "breakthrough dreams" without exogenous DMT a few times in my life. GB touched on a lot of things that are very relevant. Personally, i believe that DMT does require some preparation and education and that the best is that which you extract yourself. But, honestly, many people can get DMT without any of the above. The real key is SURRENDER. Can you do it? Can you let go of that deeply instilled (by everything from Western Culture to Christianity to Masculinity to the Life Force) desire to control and to fight for life? Can you "die" in hyperspace comfortably? If you can do the above (so easy to write, so difficult to do) DMT will show you such amazing things you'll be ready to start your own religion . . .
If you have to ask if you're ready, chances are that you're not. When messing with powerful psychedelics, you should know what you're getting in to and you shouldn't have any doubt that you can handle them. Best of luck if you try it though. Just do your reading first and don't rush it, and I'm sure you'll be fine.
What a strange quote. WRONG The "shaman puritans" have been doing this for thousands of years (so it is just as dogmatic as any other thousands-years old religion or ritual, not more so or less). Actually, i honestly believe this "dogma" is in fact just the thousands of years of experience/respect speaking along with a bit of necessary shamanic theatricality. Modern, European people have had it since the 1930's, used it for torturous research through the 1950's and began using it publicly in the 1960's. DEBATABLE i have always heard it was pronounced i-ah-wass-ka. FUCKING LOL! Do much DMT or aya recently? How recreational is it to be bitch-slapped? Don't know? Not doing it or dosing high enough.
Main stream eh? So like waking up for your Caffeine fix you have an Ayauhusca drink instead? This would be good to go to work on.
Hey man, I just don't think you're as hardcore is he is. That man probably sprinkles DMT-flakes on his mother****ing fruit loops. :2thumbsup:
Yeah I tend to lean towards the idea that DMT should be done at a high point in life as you need to be at comfort with who you are. However, i tried DMT for the first time the other day. The first day i did a smaller dose, which was absolutely beautiful and then the next night i went for the breakthrough. I am not sure if I would call where i was at "a high point in life" ... my parents are currently splitting up and this has been quite upsetting to me witnessing my parents at a time of hurt and sadness. However, this had no negative impact on my DMT experience at all. The break through the othernight was simply the most beautiful psychedelic experience i have had to date, and has left me feeling high as a nut on life itself, and helped me see light out of the recent events. DMT will turn your world sideways, split it in half, stick it back together and essentially leave you fucked for words. Personally i believe there is no way of knowing whether you are ready for the DMT experience, so you can never really know when is the right time, however it definitely helps to be in a good mindset before entering its universe. I was also really nervous before i smoked it, and once i smoked it, the nerves went away and i absolutely LOVED it. thats my 2 cents Zach
